Truss installation 1.Bolt clamps (4) to the brackets Omega CL (1) with M12 bolts and lock nuts through the hole in the bracket Omega CL. 2.Fasten the brackets Omega CL on the bottom of the base by means of the quick-lock fasteners (2) and tighten them fully clockwise.
4.6 DMX-512 connection The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
4.7 Ethernet connection The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft- ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol. Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.

Ethernet / DMX operation Option “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at first fixture. Option “Ethernet To DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu at the first fixture (connected to the Ethernet) in the fixture chain, next fixtures have standard DMX setting.
4.8 Wireless DMX operation The wireless version of the fixture is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band. The item " Wireless " from the menu "DMX Input" allows you to activate receiving of wireless DMX (Person- ality-->...

Colour Mix control (DMX channel "Colour Mix control") The Colour Mix control channel defines relation between colour channels (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Amber, Light Green and CTC ) and the colours on the virtual colour wheel: DMX value Function 0 - 9 Virtual colour wheel has priority over colour channels (default setting)
Page 16
Green correction (DMX channel "Green correction ") The channel allows you a fine correction of colours (whites, mixed colours, colours on the Virtual colour wheel). E.g. white colour from red to green tint. Virtual colour wheel (DMX channel " Virtual colour wheel") The virtual colour contains 67 preset colours and 10 user colours.
5.2 Effect functions Scrim effect Indexable scrim effect by 360°. Fine inserting into light beam. Barndoors The fixture uses an internal barndoors module for creating different shapes, which also simulates barn door effects. The barndoors module consists of four individually controllable blades and is rotatable by 180 degrees. Barndoors orientation:...

Frost Two frost filters (light 5°and medium 10°) provide variable frost for fine frosting. The medium frost is replaceable. Zoom Motorized zoom unit enables zoom between 7 °- 50° (PC lens) and 8°- 59°(Fresnel lens). Pan/Tilt Fast pan/tilt movement due to built-in electronic motion stabilizer (EMS). The electronic motion stabilizer ensures precise position of the fixture´s head during its movement and reduces its swinging when the truss shakes.
- [air filters cleaning] used to signal that cleaning period of the air filters elapsed. The menu page displays icons for each function that you can perform from the touch screen. After switching the fixture on, the touch screen shows the screen with the ROBE logo:...
Touch any part of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to display the initial screen with the cur- rent stored DMX address: Note: The green icon at the top right corner of the screen indicates the level of the display battery charging. If the whole icon is green, the battery is fully charged while the red icon indicates exhausted battery.
sACN - Fixture receives sACN protocol Ethernet To DMX - Fixture receives protocol from the Ethernet input and sends DMX data to its DMX output (fixture works as an "Ethernet/DMX converter", next fixture can be connected to its DMX output and you can build a standard DMX chain by connecting another fixtures. Only one fixture has to be connected to the Ethernet.

11. Maintenance and cleaning It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
